Me three on the Churchill ads. The dog is annoying in all of them.

One I like lately is the one where the guy is dancing through the streets on a pair of crutches, swinging and leaping around on them with skill. I've become hooked on the song that accompanies this but have no idea who the artist is -- does anyone know?

I can't actually remember what the commercial is advertising -- it's one of those that are so distracting (good or bad) that you don't even listen to who or what is is for.  :-\\\\

I love the guy with the crutches!  It's an ad for Visa ("life flows better with Visa" or something like that.)

I love the Churchill dog, but maybe it is because my friend used to work there and had one on her desk at home.

I really like the advert with all the piggy banks running around the lawn, then being herded inside by the collie figurine.  Stephen Merchant's voiceover saying "Gooood porcelain doggie" cracks me up. 

I thought it was McKenzie Crook (or Cook - I can't remember)

and return redefined, rearranged, rearranged...

I hate the BT adverts with the blond chap going out with that lass who has the teens.

Especially the latest one.

They've got the chemistry of chalk and cheese.

Has anyone else seen the ad with the singing foods talking about not bringing foods back from outside the EU? 

I love it.  It is like the muppets.

I love the ad for the bikini razor that shows all the scraggly bushes being transformed into neat cone shapes  ;)

The first time I saw it, I couldn't figure out what they were talking about until they showed the razor at the end.
